So, you're saying that "suicide by cop" is the better alternative to having hope that lawyers and non-profit orgs help you? Or, I don't know, you get deported but LIVE and manage to get to a civilised country?

Tell me, how do you imagine a PhD student getting in a firefight with five people and not ending up dead?
Also tell me: do you honestly believe that if such thing happened, the psycho-right wouldn't spin this as "violent Brown attacks police who bravely take her down"?
What is stopping you from playing Minecraft itself on Linux?
I wanted to try something new.
Some useless nonsense, like generative AI.
This is a very ignorant and prejudiced take.
AI in Excel is an amazing feature that will help TONNES of people do what they never could It can design tables and write (but not insert) advanced formulas for the user.
Sure, you could say "just be an Excel expert", but - for example - my daily work is nowhere near Excel. Learning its advanced features would be a 100% waste of time, just to be able to prep a fancy chart every couple of years. So, instead, I can just ask Copilot to do that fancy thing for me, instead of wasting hours online, trying to figure out XLOOKUP, or some such.
Copilot can design a table, and even fill out some data, but it won't input any formulas. It will write them for you and tell you where to put them, but you have to copy-paste them on your own.
Also, with versioning, even if it did and caused a problem, you could always just roll back to a previous version of the file. Not really an issue.
I can just imaging an AI tool going in the messing one little thing up, and it being near impossible to find the error.
It doesn't put formulas into the cells. It will write the formula for you, but you have to put it in yourself.
Also, there's versioning in Office, so your spreadsheet blowing up for whatever reason isn't a problem at all - just roll back to the previous version of the file.
Ah, yes it does! Thank you! I had no idea what "aux_1" is and just pressing it didn't seem to do anything - just didn't think of pressing it while moving. Thanks!
That's an average over the 9 hours, so including breaks.
I bet they would have helped though
No, they wouldn't. I've seen so many posts on r/techsupport and r/windows from people complaining about Search or other OS functions not working. They always claimed that they "did nothing", only afterwards it would turn out they used some of that crap software, which broke half the OS.
laptop had a weird antivirus software preinstalled
That could've been the reason for A LOT of problems too.
Let me put it this way: me, my family, and my business all run essentially clean Windows + Defender. Nothing else. And by "clean" I mean: install from ISO, leave as is.
Last time I had a BSOD was three years ago which was around 6 years since the previous one.
Meanwhile, the Tuxedo OS that I'm running right now (and, generally, enjoy very much) just hung up completely when I put it to sleep and then awoke. As in: not even the cursor moved when I moved the mouse, had to hard reset the thing. Things like that just don't happen in the Windows world these days.
what is he going to do when they are all too big to give piggy back rides
Nothing enough Flex Tape can't fix.
Out of curiosity - were you using any "debloaters" or other scripts/apps that were supposed to "fix" or "speed up" Windows?

Great! Thing is: a day only has 24 hours and right now I need to get better at managing IT infrastructure and business processes, not spreadshets.
If you have the time to research Excel - go for it! Absolutely nobody is forcing you to use Copilot.
